ABBEY Lloyd and Jordie Franke will reunite with former team mate Jai Jackson on the other side of the world.

South-West Thunder stars Lloyd and Franke will miss the rest of the SEQ Women's Premier League 2 season, and Saturday night's Elaine Watson Cup semi-final against Eastern Suburbs, as they today fly out to the United States.

They will move to Rochester, New York where they will attend Monroe Community College and join their football program.
